I need to lay down now... I got sick really bad last nite. I had a huge rock in my stomach all day yesterday. I threw up all night last night. It was sick. I couldn't even keep down water. Every hour on the hour I had to run and throw up. Tony was prolly sad to hear me gagging all night so at 1am he went to CVS and bought me emitrol. I took some, 15 mins later I threw it all up again. So after I threw everything up I didn't drink any water and i was OK after 2. It wasn't fun, but I will have to stop talking about it because I feel like barfing again. I am very weak. I slept all day. It is 6:30 and I want to go back to sleep. I just want to say for everything that happened last night, I have the most thoughtful boyfriend. He was so scared I kept throwing up, he was about to take me to the hospital.

I have to get better, I want to see my family for Thanksgiving. Most of all, I want to spend time with my adorable niece, Addison. I miss her and love her!

Addison's house...

My Favorite picture of Addison... I want to pick her up and smooch her back she is just too cute!

Last nite, Tony and I went to Cincy and visit my adorable niece! She is SO cute and cuddly. I just want to squeeze her and kiss her all over. We had a blast! The boys watched football and I colored with Addison. Some pictures I stole from my sisters blog...

Addison had to warm up to me first. She just got up from a nap here.

She fell in love with Tony! Wouldn't let him go when we were trying to leave. Tony is going to be a great daddy, someday! Addison, I can't wait to babysit you soon! We all will have a blast. Oh, Tony will come too. Your little crush!

Customers!

While at work, a great cashier on the front end, I always seem to get the customers who are sooo clueless. This blog is just a venting from HD.

I will ring up a customer and they slide there card on a new pin pad with pictures and prompts. For credit, it prompts the customer to sign for there card. Then they look at me after i say sign and then hit accept. They hit clear!!! Again, i say resign the pinpad and hit accept. THEY hit clear!! come on! Have some common sense! CLEAR means it is clearing out your signature. HIT accept. Sometime this process will happen 3 times. I get so irritated.

Another one! a customer came up to me and asked where we kept the fire places. We were standing right next to them. I said right here... then the lady asked oh, so there isn't another place for them?! No dumb ass, we don't have another spot for them... if you don't see what you want then probably we don't carry it. AHHH...

Well today, i feel like shit. I got Tony's cold. My head feels like its going to explode. I need sleep!

John Bryant, Yellow Springs

Sunday, Nov.2

Tony, his mom Theresa and I all went hiking in Yellow Springs. A place called John Bryant state park. A very beautiful place. Great weather and gorgeous color. Some trees were broken and blocking the path from the wind storm. We walked about 4 miles. My legs hurt!

Tony and his mom...

A path we were walking on

Some loud waterfalls. Too bad since I had to pee so bad!

Some man painting. oil paint that is.. looks kind of what dad use to do...

Tony and I... Sarah, when we get engaged i want you to take pics here for me! This was close to the end of the trail. we climbed up a huge cliff. I was huffin...i can tell i am out of shape. My friend from work just told me her friend hung himself on one of the trees at JB. It took a year until he was found. That is real scary!

After hiking, we all went for lunch at the Tavern in Yellow Springs. It took forever until our food came. They didn't even charge Tony for his meal. Worst service ever.Food was alright. After lunch we went to Live Love Scrap. A scrapbook place in Fairborn. Too bad it was closed on Sundays(fall hours). Tony went to Kroger and filled up my car for only $1.86. Awesome. thanks babe. Now, we are stuffed and tired. Just to veg tonight and go to bed early.

Halloween at Katz...

Friday nite was Halloween. Robin called and wanted to know what Tony and I were going to do. Tony was sick so I thought it would be just Robin, her boyfriend Bryan and I going out. Tony wanted to too. So we went up to Katz. A bar in Kettering. A band, Last call was playing. We love this band, so we headed up to hear them play. It was a costume party but we didnt dress up. I was scary enough! haha. I wish i would had painted my face like the joker. That would be sweet! in the end, we had a fun nite!


End of the night, they drank alot! I only had one and a half.

Robin and I...

Tony and I. I was getting sick of my double chin, so we had to stick it out!

Strikin' a pose!
